This episode is brought to you by Distro Kit. I never gave a second at large.

I'm not a buddy for the large.

Hey everybody.

Today's guest is Brian Baker

from Dag Nasty, bad Religion, also played in Minor Threat, plays in the Beach Rats, he's played with

Junkyard, been in a ton of bands and he's been amazing in all of them. I love Brian's style and I love

him as a person and you know he's one of those guys that that paved the way for people such as myself to be in a punk rock band and have a quote-unquote

career at it.

Brian picked the Dag nasty classic Can I Say to discuss today.

Brian talks about how in the early days everyone got writing credit on all the songs.

He talked about how a lyric like I defended what I should have denied is very much his style of lyric.

Dag nasty, this is interesting, they recorded the entire album twice.

I'd love to hear the first take on that. Brian remembers sitting on his futon on the floor of a

group house playing the guitar and coming up with the guitar parts of can I say.

Brian did not think that they were making songs that would have been revered

30 years later.

Getting a real job was absolutely unacceptable for Brian.

He had to figure out how to make being in a band work.

He talked about how not a lot of artists were writing the socially conscious type of lyrics that Dagnasty was writing in the 80s punk rock was still very much protest music and we talked about how fan zines were the original analog podcasts and I give a shout out to my friend Bill Weaver.

He was the first guy back in high school to play me Dag nasty and I loved him from the first time I heard him.

For all this and much more, stay tuned.

Hey, hey, have you heard Krista makes a podcast?
